The Supreme Court of the United States will not convene on Tuesday, October 30 due to weather conditions related to Hurricane Sandy. The oral arguments scheduled to be heard on October 30 have been rescheduled for Thursday, November 1. Court will convene on November 1 at 10 a.m.

The Court is still scheduled to hear oral arguments on Wednesday, October 31. Those arguments have not been rescheduled. The Court’s website will be updated with any further developments.

As our own Brent Kendall noted earlier Monday, the court traditionally has been reluctant to close up shop, particularly on days when the justices are scheduled to take the bench.

Washingtonians will recall the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s insistence on keeping the court open during a 1996 storm that dumped nearly two feet of snow on the capital.

Jeffrey Toobin described the justices’ efforts to make it to the court for morning arguments in his book “The Nine.”
